Rummy's Favorite Things

Rifles and cannons and nuclear rockets
Rayguns that burn out your eyes from their sockets
Flying behemoths with bombs on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things.

Big muzzled mortars that belch seething fire
Flamethrowers feeding the flames even higher
Shrapnel grenades that explode with a fling
These are a few of my favorite things...

When the war stops
When it's peacetime
When I'm feeling sad
I just open up
With my favorite things
And then I don't feel
So bad......

Rumsfeld Offers Strategies for Current War
The United States is engaged in what could be a generational conflict akin to the Cold War, the kind of struggle that might last decades as allies work to root out terrorists across the globe and battle extremists who want to rule the world, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said yesterday.

Rumsfeld, who laid out broad strategies for what the military and the Bush administration are now calling the "long war," likened al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin while urging Americans not to give in on the battle of wills that could stretch for years. He said there is a tendency to underestimate the threats that terrorists pose to global security, and said liberty is at stake.
